Flux/Gauss's Law(Update)

In the class period we talked all about flux. We started off with a simple flux conseptual problem with flux lines and surfaces. We then moved on to the actual equation of the flux lines and what we had to do to find them.


Here is a conspetual problem that we did to start off the class. It is three electrons with different q charges which chanages the amount of lines that is expelled out of each charge. We went over what it ment to have flux through a given area. This is a 2D diagram but in pratical life it is in fact 3-dimential.


We had to describe the meaning of flux. My group said flux was teh difference between the number of lines in and out a surface area. It was also proportional to the charge enclosed by that surface area.



We had the great idea to put many different things inside a microwave and see what happens. We put a fork in the microwave thinking that it will have sparks at the tips but it actually did not do anything.

We later put a CD inside the microwave and the sparks flew. Bubbles of sparks and maybe plasma erupted in an amazing display of color.

We predicted that sparks would fly when the CD was left in the micro way while it was on. We also had a grape and Christmas ordainment in the microwave and sparks flew with both of them depending on how the objects were orientated inside the microwave.


This was the results of the second time i was in the class. As suspected it cracked or broke the bonds that were layer over the backside of the CD.

This is a movie of the time we put the light bulb into the microwave. I don't know if  the video will show. This is the first time I am doing it and it might just be a blank bock. Or nothing at all.




This is the equation for a given sphere that has a change of radius dr. It is a farily simple intergal but there is a cubic factor that we needed to take into consideration.

Here we see that the flux could be writen as an E equation that we already learned in the previous class session. It was a good connection point.

The Five problems from Activphysics that were both enlightening and confusing at the same time. I wish we had a longer time to go over Gausses law and Flux

This is a equation that we will be using over a perid of time probably or maybe not since we are having the test next class period.

This has to do with a diffusion of a charge through a cylinder.


Along with that equation we have this one that shows us what step by step nature of the cylinder.
It was a very simple equations once you understood the underlining principle.



This is the simple downed version on what coefficient of any object. We use a Y because it was free and its for any object.  


This was given for the question of finding the earths Gauss or was it flux?
